It's probably worth applying some simple arithmetic. The DFZ today is 20% larger than in Ben's snapshot, above. Data-plane memory use obviously doesn't scale linearly with the number of routes, but it it did, his memory use today would be ~88%. Now add the IPv6 DFZ, which is still in its infancy at 10k routes today, but requires more memory per route (a lot more, depending on implementation.) You just ran out of memory. Today. Not with IPv6 growth in the future, or IPv4 growth in the future, but just by taking the current IPv4 and IPv6 DFZ. If I had that box deployed today, I would plan to upgrade it when needed. If I deployed it as a new device today, I would expect to be fired. -- Jeff S Wheeler <[email protected]> Sr Network Operator / Innovative Network Concepts _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
